Stefano Sanfilippo 0284fecd13 perf jit: Add unwinding support
This record is intended to provide unwinding information in the
eh_frame format. This is required to unwind JITed code which
does not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls.

The eh_frame unwinding information can be emitted by V8 / Chromium
when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed.

A record of type jr_code_unwinding_info comes before the jr_code_load
it referred to and contains both the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr.

The fields in the header have the following meaning:

  * unwinding_size: size of the eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr, necessary
    for distinguishing the content from the padding.

  * eh_frame_hdr_size: as the name says.

  * mapped_size: size of the payload that was in memory at runtime.
    typically unwinding_size if the .eh_frame_hdr and .eh_frame were
    mapped, or 0 if they weren't. It should always be the former case,
    since the .eh_frame is guaranteed to be mapped in memory. However,
    certain JITs might want to inject an .eh_frame_hdr with an empty LUT
    to trigger fp-based unwinding fallback in libunwind. The only part
    of the .eh_frame_hdr that libunwind reads from remote memory is the
    LUT, and since there is none, mapping the unwinding info in memory
    is not necessary, and 0 in this field signifies that it wasn't.
    This practical hack allows to save bytes in code memory for those
    JIT compilers that might or might not maintain a valid frame pointer.

The payload that follows is assumed to contain first the .eh_frame and
then the .eh_header_hdr, with no padding between the two.

Adrian Hunter 2a28e23049 perf jit: Add support for using TSC as a timestamp
Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC instead
of the monotonic clock.  Use of TSC is selected by an environment
variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged in the jitdump file
with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP.

Stephane Eranian 9b07e27f88 perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support
This patch adds a --jit/-j option to perf inject.

This options injects MMAP records into the perf.data file to cover the
jitted code mmaps. It also emits ELF images for each function in the
jidump file.  Those images are created where the jitdump file is.  The
MMAP records point to that location as well.

Typical flow:

  $ perf record -k mono -- java -agentpath:libpjvmti.so java_class
  $ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted
  $ perf report -i perf.data.jitted

Note that jitdump.h support is not limited to Java, it works with any
jitted environment modified to emit the jitdump file format, include
those where code can be jitted multiple times and moved around.

The jitdump.h format is adapted from the Oprofile project.

The genelf.c (ELF binary generation) depends on MD5 hash encoding for
the buildid. To enable this, libssl-dev must be installed. If not, then
genelf.c defaults to using urandom to generate the buildid, which is not
ideal.  The Makefile auto-detects the presence on libssl-dev.

This version mmaps the jitdump file to create a marker MMAP record in
the perf.data file. The marker is used to detect jitdump and cause perf
inject to inject the jitted mmaps and generate ELF images for jitted
functions.

In V8, the following fixes and changes were made among other things:

  -  the jidump header format include a new flags field to be used
     to carry information about the configuration of the runtime agent.

  - Fix mmap pgoff: MMAP event pgoff must be the offset within the ELF file
    at which the code resides.
    Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

  - Fix ELF virtual addresses: perf tools expect the ELF virtual addresses of dynamic
    objects to match the file offset.
    Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

  - JIT MMAP injection does not obey finished_round semantics. JIT MMAP injection injects all
    MMAP events in one go, so it does not obey finished_round semantics, so drop the
    finished_round events from the output perf.data file.
